2016 Map of Oldtown

About this map

Oldtown and Warnock anchor this part of Greenup County, where the landscape is defined by the winding Little Sandy River and Tygarts Creek. The terrain is a network of named hollows and ridges, from Holbrook Ridge to Sugar Cane Hollow, reflecting a deeply dissected plateau. This 2016 survey documents a rural environment where numerous family-named burial grounds like Warnock Cem, Buffalo Cem, and Hickory Flat Cem remain as vital genealogical links. The road system, featuring the Michael Tygart Trail and Claylick Loop, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting small settlements like Samaria and Hopewell. Water features such as Anglin Pond and Martin Pond dot the drainage basins of Crane Creek and Oldtown Cr, illustrating the hydraulic patterns of this Appalachian foothill region.
